Synonymic List of British Butterflies 

 and Moths. 



By henry DOUBLEDAY, Esq. 



This is tlie only complete List of British Lepidopterons 

 Insects. It contains the names and synonyms of every But- 

 terfly and Moth discovered in Great Britain up to the date 

 of publication. The arrangement is founded on that of 

 M. Guenee, the Facilis Princeps of Lepidopterists. The 

 great object in printing this most complete and laborious 

 work is to establish a uniform nomenclature, the diversity 

 hitherto existing, both in names and arrangement, being a 

 source of confusion and perplexity to all beginners. Not 

 only is Mr. Doubleday's own collection (the normal col- 

 lection of British Lepidoptera) arranged and named in 

 accordance with this List, but so also, is every imjjortant col- 

 lection with which I am acquainted throughout the country. 



" With regard to arrangement and nomenclature of Butter- 

 flies and Moths, I believe that the vast majority of collectors 

 adopt both as contained in Mr. Doubleday's ' Synonymic 

 List.' This work is a monument of patient industry and 

 laborious perseverance : no collector should be without it." 

 — Rev. Joseph Greene's ' Insect Hunter^s Companion,^ p. 148.
